Introductory Note

This book differs in many ways from the Tampa Blue Book of
the previous year. Its main feature and one which is entirely new,
is the History of the Pioneers of Tampa, which claims the first part of
the book. This history includes over thirty families who came here
prior to the year 1870. This real pioneer period covers the time of
the Indian wars and Civil War.

The book has entailed much patience and research, and in every
case the information is authentic, facts having been obtained
from the oldest living descendants of these families. Great care has
been given in recording exact dates and names. All data is given
in alphabetical order, thus adding to the convenience of those who
consult the book.

The second part gives the classified information of Tampa of-
ficials and organizations of 1914. In this is included the City, County,
State and United States officials who have their residence in Tampa;
Benevolent, Historical and Patriotic organizations, Literary, Music,
Social and Foreign clubs.

The third part of the book contains the Business Directory, in-
cluding the best and most reliable firms. I wish to express appre-
ciation for the encouragement and cooperation received in this work,
and for the valuable aid rendered by advertisers. No charge has
been made for any part of the history recorded, this being a de-
parture from the usual rule of getting up such books. In return I
solicit the patronage of all who are interested in Tampa and par-
ticularly of all descendants of the pioneer families recorded herein.

The price of the book, $1.75, merely covers its cost, and brings
it within the reach of all.

Sincerely yours.

Tampa First a Military Post

Old Tampa Bay was first named Espiritu Santo Bay (Holy
Spirit), by Hernando DeSoto, the Spanish explorer, who landed
near Tampa, May 25, 1539 on Whitsunday. Afterward it was called
Tampa Bay, after the Indian settlement, Tampa— Tampa itself being
an Indian name. The Spanish government had owned the territory
of Florida for nearly three centuries, when in 1821 "The Exchange
of Flags" proclaimed the ownership of the United States Government.
Three years after this, February, 1824, Colonel George Marshall
Brooke, with a detachment of United States troops, was sent here
to locate a camp or cantonment, to protect the Government's prop-
erty— the beautiful live oak grove in that portion known as The
Garrison. On December 10, 1830 the cantonment was made a military
reservation of sixteen square miles, which was named Fort Brooke,
after Colonel Brooke. The post became the most important in
Florida as a protection for the white settlers against the Indians,
and Tampa was headquarters for the outlying military posts: Fort
Dade, Fort Myers, Fort Meade and others.

Tampa was distinctly a miltary post from the time Fort Brooke
was established, continuing so for half a century. All the pioneers
who are still living, declare that it was never a fishing village, as it
has sometimes been called. In real pioneer days the only fishing
camp in South Florida was Hunter's Fishery, located on the Big
Manatee River. No fish were ever shipped out of Tampa until
Plant's South Florida Railroad was built. The first fish transactions,
excepting the local markets, was begun in recent years by John
Savarese and the Mcllvaine brothers. The streets in Fort Brooke
had shell roads and walks even in the early thirties, making the post
very attractive. It was by nature a beautiful spot with its mag-
nificent live oaks, heavily hung with Spanish moss, bounded on one
side by the Hillsborough river and on another by the Hillsborough
Bay, which joins its waters with those of Tampa Bay, and the Gull
of Mexico. The first city site comprised one hundred and sixty acres,

2 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

which the Government turned over to Tampa. Washington street
became the principal business street, as Franklin street is the chief
business street of today. Ox teams and mule teams were the only
means of hauling and traveling about the village and through the
country. Settlers came for twenty-five miles or more to Tampa for
their provisions and mail. The officers and soldiers who had families
brought them here, and civilians imigrated from time to time, until
the village grew slowly but surely into a city. The first families
underwent many privations. They raised and ginned their cotton;
spun it into yarn, which they dyed with wild indigo; wove into goods,
and made up into garments for wear. They had no schools at first,
but taught their own children as best they could. They saw much
of war, the men going forth to battle in the Seminole war of 1835-42,
many of them never returning. Again duty called forth surviving
ones in the war between the States of 1861-65. The heroism of the
pioneers, not only of the men but of the women, and the strong, un-
wavering effort of these founders of Tampa in establishing and
maintaining their homes, and therefore the town itself, should com-
mand the deep respect and love of every patriotic citizen.

The original military reservation of sixteen square miles was
reduced by executive orders as war troubles ceased, until in 1878
only a comparatively small portion remained. On January 4, 1883
the reservation was relinquished and was transferred by the Secre-
tary of War to the Interior Department. The land was restored to
public domain under the law then in force, and was open to home-
stead claims. The officers' headquarters, which is still standing as
one of the few landmarks of pioneer days in this now prominent
city of sixty-five thousand population, is a frame building which
replaced the original log building first used by the army officers and
which had been burned. After the abandonment of the post in 1883
this building was being torn down when Dr. Edmund S. Carew and
his wife, Lizzie W. Carew, came to Tampa. By Dr. Carew's request
the building was left standing. He then entered homestead claim
for one hundred and sixty acres in Fort Brooke, and the large old
building became their home. Litigation followed and for a number
of years the settlers in that portion of the city who had purchased

TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914 3

or homesteaded lands, were doubtful of being able to hold them.
This litigation was finally settled in 1905, Mrs. Carew, widow of Dr.
Carew, and other claimants of the section holding a portion of their
claims. The question of rights to properties in the Garrison having
been settled the development of Tampa's harbor in that section
forged ahead and Tampa has today a $38,000,000 port, which is the
nearest available port of importance in the United States to the
Panama Canal.

CIGAR INDUSTRY

Although the history set forth here is not intended to reach
beyond the period of 1870, and no families are recorded herein
which came to Tampa later than that period, it is almost imperative
to mention the cigar industry, as Tampa has become the most im-
portant cigar manufacturing city in the world. Thirty million dollars
was brought to Tampa during the year 1913 by the cigar industry,
284,000,000 cigars being shipped out of Tampa during the year. This
industry makes Tampa the eleventh city in the Unilted States as a
revenue producer for the government. V. Martinez Ybor, Edward
Manrara and Sanchez & Haya were the pioneers in the manufacture
of cigars in Tampa, coming here in 1886. Ybor City was founded
then and named for Mr. Ybor, who is called the "Father of the Cigar
Industry in Tampa." Great destinies are sometimes determined by
small incidents. There is such an incident, known only to a few,
which is here published for the first time and which turned the
tide for Tampa. Mr. Ybor was seeking a location for cigar factories
in Florida, and many propositions had been made by him to differ-
ent cities, but no decision had been reached. One day a telegraph
operator here received a telegram from the town of San ford ad-
dressed to V. Martinez Ybor, telling him to come at once, that the
town of Sanford had accepted his proposition to locate the cigar
factories there. The Operator was SO upset thai he read the telegram
aloud, and George II. Packwood, Sr., who was sitting in the office
heard it. The latter having Tampa's welfare at heart, knew that
something must be done at once to save the day. He took the liberty

4 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

to have an answer sent back to San ford stating that it was too late,
as Tampa had just closed the deal bringing the cigar factories here.
Mr. Packwood then notified the Secretary of the Board of Trade, who
called a meeting at once and the deal to locate the proposed factories
was made. Citizens of Tampa then gave a large tract of land and
Ybor City was founded. The factories of Ybor & Manrara and
Sanchez & Haya were built at the same time, the latter being the
first to open. West Tampa later also became a center for the manu-
facture of cigars.

HISTORY OF TAMPA PIONEERS

[Note: For the easier tracing of the families recorded here,
the names of the heads of each family and the first descendants of
each are printed in italic letters.]

BROWN — W. Charles Brown came to Tampa from Athens, Ohio,
in November, 1855. He was a civil engineer, and the clerk of court
of the city at one time. He served in the Seminole Indian war, being
one of Captain Sparkman's company. He married Mary E. Hager,
June 23, 1859, who came here December 8, 1855 from St. Augustine,
Fla., with her mother, Mrs. Florencia Hager, the latter afterward
marrying Louis Bell. Mr. Brown surveyed some of the outlying land
around Tampa. He died December 31, 1904. His widow and their
four children are still living. The children are: Mrs. Mary Sidney
(Tom) Gibbons, Mrs. Minnie (Louis) Carney, of Port Tampa;
Flossie and Karl, the last two named being unmarried. The widow
and the descendants, except Mrs. Carney, live on Washington street,
this city.

COLLER-JACKSON — Levi Coller was, as far as can be ascer-
tained, about the first American white pioneer of the city of Tampa,
who was a permanent settler. He was of English and German
descent, and came from Massachusetts to St. Augustine in 1812,
married Nancy Dixon, of English and French ancenstry two years
later. During the war of 1812 Florida was the bone of contention
of Spain, England and American governments. After the restoration
of peace, the Coller family moved to Alachua County. About the
year 1823 Mr. Coller came to Tampa prospecting, with a view of

TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914 5

settling here. He made the perilous journey on horseback and alone.
He selected a beautiful piece of land to homestead, but, unfor-
tunately, did not file his preemption papers before returning to his
family in Alachua. When he came again to Tampa in 1824 with
his family, the Government agents had selected the same tract of
land for a military post — Fort Brooke, this being known today as
The Garrison. Coming to Tampa with the Collers were two
families named Dixon and Ellis, their descendants having finally
drifted away from the city. The Coller family built a home on the
eastern shore where two streams joined and empty into the bay.
One of the streams of water is still called Coller's Creek. The
Indians were friendly to the family and Levi Coller became pros-
perous. Most of the war vessels which guarded Tampa and Fort
Brooke anchored off Coller's Creek, and purchased supplies from
the Coller farm. After the outbreak of the Seminoles and the
massacre of Major Dade and his men, which is well known history,
the Coller family and others moved into two tents at the fort,
where they were better protected against the Indians. After a few
weeks General Gaines and his company come to the relief of Major
Beldon and his company, at Fort Brooke. Captain Crowell came
later and, by invitation, the Collers lived on his well equipped ship
for many months. During an epidemic of measles and fever, four
of the younger Coller children died. Nancy, the eldest, was also
ill, and her life was saved by Dr. Robert Jackson, a West Point
student, stationed at the fort as surgeon's chief steward. Nancy
Coller married the handsome young physician in September, 1836.
The children of Levi and Nancy Coller became some of Tampa's
leading citizens, as follows: Mrs. Nancy (Robert) Jackson. Cor-
delia, Harry, who first married Cooper Cason, and after his death
married Charles Hoey. She died in 1009 at the age of 92 leaving no
children. Mrs. Eliza (Louis) Bell, whose only living child is Anna
Bell, corner Morgan and Bell streets, the Garrison. Mrs. Mercedes
(Louis G.) Covacevich, (died I860). Their offspring are enumerated
in the account of the Covacevich family. John Colli r. who married
Lavina Shannon. Mrs. Lucinda (Henry) Oowart, who i^ living on
Harrison street. (wSce Cowart family on separate p&ge.) Mrs.

6 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

Jeanette (W. T.) Haskins. Mrs. Haskins, who is the youngest of the
Coller family, survives her husband and lives on Hillsboro street.
She gave birth to the following children: Levi, W. T., Jr. (dead),
Eugene, of Bellair, Fla. ; Jennie C, now Sister Mary Camillus of the
Convent of Mercy, New Orleans; Mrs. Mary Ann (S. A.) Phillips
and Kate Haskins, unmarried. W. T. Haskins took a homestead
of 40 acres in Hyde Park, which fronted on the Bay, part of the land
being where Plant and Hyde Park avenues now are. This joined
the Robert Jackson homestead. About that time, three well-to-do
families of Jackson, Haskins and Hayden owned about all of the
valuable section of Hyde Park. Because of the inconvenience of
getting their children across the Hillsboro River by boat, the Haskins
family finally gave to General Washington their homestead claim
and purchased property on the east side of the river, which has since
become very valuable. After the close of the Seminole Indian war
Dr. Robert Jackson, who married Nancy Coller, resigned from mili-
tary service, and became a civilian. He built his home near the
west bank of the Hillsboro River, and Tampa Bay. Mr. Jackson
was judge of the Probate Court of Hillsborough County for a num-
ber of years, and was frequently called by physicians in consultation.
Robert Jackson died March 2, 1865, and his wife survived him many
years, dying in 1907 at the good old age of ninety-seven. The names
of both these pioneers are beloved in Tampa. Their sons and
daughters who have survived them are: Captain W. P. Jackson, who
married Lunna Collins, whose offspring are Mrs. Mary (Henry
Grady) Lester, Bartow, who married Addie Howell; Robert, Jr., who
married Orie Hochstein; W. Preston, who married Bertha Chason, of
Bainbridge, Ga., and Lucile, unmarried. Mrs. Mary Cardy (died
recently) a daughter, Theresa Bryan, survives her. John B., un-
married. Robert A., ex-sheriff of the county. Mrs. Cordelia (E. A.)
Barclay, of Elgin, 111. Mrs. Theresa (M. T.) Cheeseborough, of
Galveston, Tex.

COVACEVICH — Louis G. Covacevich was among the well known
early settlers of Tampa. He was born in Austria, and came to
Tampa in 1837. He was a merchant, and after the Civil War entered
into partnership with Captain Miller. He married Mercedes

TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

Coller, one of the daughters of the earliest pioneers, Levi
Coller. Their name has not been continued for the reason that
all their offspring were daughters except one, Louis, Jr., who was
killed in the Civil War. The daughters were four: Mrs. Mary
(James) Williams, of Crystal River, Florida, the children being
Eunice and Agnes, (both married). Mrs. Nancy Phillips, of Har-
wichport, Mass., whose children are Mrs. Agnes (Henry) Chase;
Louis, who married Sue Kelly, and Earl, who married Alice Walker.
Mrs. Laura (Doc) Rawles, of Manatee County. Mrs. Johanna
(James) Brandon. Both Mr. and Mrs. Brandon died several years
ago. Their children are John, of Riverview, who married Angie
Hendry; Camillus B., of Tampa, who married Nellie Blount; Covace-
vich Louis, of Tampa, who married Emily Whitney; Letticia, unmar-
ried; Mrs. Doc Estelle (W. A.) Varnedoe, of Tampa; James, of
Gardner, Fla., who married Minnie Waldron.

COWART — Benjamin Cowart and his wife, Margaret Chesser,
of Georgia, came to Tampa with their children in 1849. Mr. Cowart
opened a butcher shop here which became a thriving business. The
eldest son of Benjamin and Margaret Cowart is Benjamin Thomas,
D.D.S., an eminent citizen who married Maggie Packer, of Key
West. At the age of sixteen this boy went to sea, subsequently
enlisting in the United States revenue service. He was a private in
Company B, Seventh Regiment Florida Volunteers in the Civil War,
and fought in the battles of Chickamauga and others. He was
transferred to the navy, serving as paymaster's clerk and yoeman,
afterward being placed in charge of the flagship Savannah. He was
captured and placed in Libby Prison. At the close of the war he
returned to Tampa and became deputy collector and inspector of
customs here. Later he was assistanl special agent of the United
States Treasury Department. While holding such appointments he
studied medicine and dentistry, afterward completing his studies ai
Maryland Dental College, Baltimore. He began practicing dentistry
in Washington in 1877. Alter again holding appointments in the
Treasury Department, stationed at St. Augustine, he removed to

Tampa in 1885, still practicing dentistry here. He is ex-president
a of the Florida Dental Association. The other children o\ Benjamin

8 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

Cowart the First, are Henry, who married Lucinda Coller; Richard,
(died unmarried) ; Jane, married Louis Covasovich, and after his
death married John Robles; Julia, the present wife of John Robles,
having married him after the death of her sister, Jane.

FERRIS — William G. Ferris came to Tampa in 1833. He was
one of the first merchants of the village and owned a schooner which
he operated for the shipment of his goods. His first store, which
was a small building, was washed away during the storm of 1848,
and he rebuilt the following year. He served in the war between the
states. Mr. Ferris married and reared a family, the best known of
the children being Joshiah, whose sons are Josiah, Jr., publisher of
the Orlando Sentinel, and Lee, of Tampa. Henry, a merchant of
Tampa and Limona, who had no children, but whose widow, Mrs.
Julia Ferris, now resides here. William, whose widow is now Mrs.
Florence Hanford, who lived here for many years but is now in
Birmingham, Ala. The only child of William and Florence Ferris
is William H., now of Birmingham, Ala., his only descendant being
Catherine Ferris, of Tampa, the young daughter of Mrs. Kate C.
Ferris.

GIVENS — John T. Givens was born in Abbeville District, now
county, S. C, on September 15, 1815. He came to Florida first im
1835 as a member of Colonel Childs' regiment of South Carolina
Volunteers (mounted), enlisted for service in the first Seminole
Indian war, and was stationed at Fort Brooke, Tampa. Upon the
expiration of his term of enlistment, which was six months, he re-
turned to South Carolina and was married in the same year, 1836, to
Nancy C. Walker, The family removed to Florida in 1843 and set-
tled in Madison County. There they remained five years, coming to(
Tampa December 24, 1848, reaching here on Christmas Day. Johni
T. Givens was an undertaker, Martin Lovegreen becoming, in the early
seventies, his competitor. In 1853 Mr. Givens built his home at the
southeast corner of LaFayette and Morgan streets, where "The Castle"
of Bay Lodge, Knights of Pythias, now stands. A portion of
the old lot is still owned by one of his daughters, Mrs. R. B. Thomas,
who resides upon it at No. 303 Morgan street. John T. Givens died
November 10, 1901, aged eighty-six years; his wife died September 1,

Congressman, who was killed in the battle of Alamo, 1836, war be-
tween Texas and Mexico. Mr. Hayden and his family came to
Tampa in 1866 and bought from General Carter some improved
property in Hyde Park, and entered as homestead eighty acres
adjoining it. Mr. Hayden and his daughter, Mrs. Donald S. McKay,
sold in 1886 to H. B. Plant, for $40,000 nearly sixty acres of this
property, including the Tampa Bay Hotel site, Plant Park and
Atheltic Field. In the first years of Mr. Hayden's residence here
he ran a mercantile and livery business east of the river, operating
his own ferry for the convenience of himself and his customers, in
crossing the river. There were born to Jesse Hayden and Susan, his
wife, the following children: Peter, Allen and Homer, all unmarried.

parents died, leaving these sons, when William B., the eldest, wa
only twelve years old. This boy worked and educated himself an<
his brothers, and the success he himself achieved makes him re
markable among the "self-made" men of Tampa and the entin
South. John A. married Mary Turner, who lived only a ,few years
John A. became one of the foremost lawyers of Tampa, and Senatoiii
from this district. He then settled in Tallahassee, marrying Misifi
Ward, daughter of Colonel G. T. Ward, of the Confederate Service |l
John A. was afterward general counsel and vice-president of the F I
C. & P. Railroad. He died several years ago. Augustus died in the If
service of the Civil War, and Feltcher also died in youth. Wesley P.\\
married Mamie Parrish (now Mrs. Marcus Giddens). He was super- j
intendent of public instruction, and died here several years ago.
William B. married Caroline Elizabeth Spencer, February 9, 1890.
Previous to his marriage he was a clerk in Mr. Kennedy's store.
After his marriage he bought a farm on the Alafia River and opened
a small store there. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined
Captain Gettis' Company D, of the Seventh Florida Regiment. He^
served in this company until he was forced to return home on account t
of having contracted tuberculosis. He engaged in the cattle business
for ten years, and the outdoor life cured him. He then moved to
Tampa and bought an interest from Captain John Miller in the
latter's steamboat and mercantile business, shipping cattle to Cuba.
After ten years the Tampa Commercial Co. was organized with Mr.
Henderson as president. A few years later he retired from active
business, though he still retained interest in various enterprises,
among them the Beckwith, Henderson and Warren real estate agency,
the Henry Giddens Clothing Co., and others. He was president of
the following important concerns: Bank of West Tampa, West Tam-
pa Land Improvement Co., Tampa Building and Loan Association,
Tampa Publishing Co., and Tampa's first electric railway company.
He was for ten years president of the State Board of Health, and
chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, and held many
other offices of trust. His wife died December 14, 1906, and he
died May 7, 1909. Their children are: Gettis A., who married Hattie
Stallings; Mrs. Blanche (Dr. L. D.) Weedon; Mrs. Cora (G. C.)

HOOKER — William Brinton Hooker was born in Ware County,
to -a., in 1807. He moved to Florida and settled in Hamilton County,
i White Springs, Suwanee River, in 1832. He was married to
tor [ary Amanda Hare, near Raleigh, N. C. He was a member of the
irst Constitutional Convention of Florida from Hamilton County.
[r. Hooker served as Captain in the Seminole Indian war from

JACKSON John Jackson was born in Ireland in L809, and
ame to Uiis country in 1841, settling at New Orleans, La., where

12 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

he became assistant City Engineer. He went to St. Augustine
1843. There he met Colonel Butler, U. S. surveyor, for whom La
Butler was named, and through him received the appointment
general surveyor for Florida. At St. Augustine he met and marri
Miss Ellen Maker, who had also come from Ireland. John Jacks ty
and his wife came to Tampa in 1847. It was that year that Tam;
was established as the county seat of Hillsoborugh County, which
that time meant the territory included in several of the surroundii
counties of today. Mr. Jackson being a surveyor was engaged
lay off the city, which then comprised an area of 160 acres. He la|
off another part of the city in 1850, and made a general map of t
city in 1853, this map still being on record as authentic. His surv«|
of the city was from Whiting street to Harrison, and from Eaia
street to Ashley, the west side of the city being bounded by tl
Hillsborough River. Mr. Jackson named the streets after tlj.
United States Presidents, and the officers in charge of Fort Brook^
Colonel Whiting was in charge of the fort at the time, and the firij
street from the Garrison was named after that officer. Mr. Jackso
received large contracts from the government to survey portions <
Florida, sometimes a contract covering a radius of five hundre
miles. He surveyed the country around Miami, and that portion
of the State bordering on the Everglades. Once when surveyin
below the Caloochehatchee River he unintentionally caused an India
uprising. There was a white settlement and an Indian settlemer
divided by what they called "a mutual ground" but beyond tha
neither the whites or the Indians were to trespass. Mr. Jackson ha
authority from the Government to survey a portion of the Indian;
land, through a mistake, and in doing this the hostility of the Indian
'was aroused and several whites killed. Captain Casey finall;
pacified the Indians, and John Jackson miraculously escaped unhurt
He was friendly with the Indians, and Osceola and Billy Bowlegs a
well as others of that time were among his admirers. In 1848 i
gale washed Mr. Jackson's home away. He had two boxes containing
$3,000 in silver which were carried away by the waves, but he re
covered the boxes of money after the flood subsided. John Jacksoi
entered into the mercantile business in 1849 and was, until his deatl

LEONARDI— In the year 1855 there came to Tampa from St
Augustine, Fla., the Leonardi brothers, Vincent and Bartholomew .
accompanied by their sisters, all of whom were married and had
families. The descendants of this family have been born and reared 1
here and have figured more or less prominently in the city's develop-
ment. The Leonardi brothers were architects. Bartholomew has a
daughter, Mrs. Annie (W. S.) Solornan, living here. Bartholomew's
son, S. B. Leonardi and his family, are the only ones now living here
who are from that branch of the family bearing the name of Leonardi.
S. B. married Alia Buff, of Indiana. He is a chemist, and now is
manufacturer of well known medicines. He was formerly the leading
druggist of the. city. The children of his marriage are Mrs
Marguerite (Clinton B.) Amorous; Bernandetta and Sydney B., the
two younger children being in their teens. The Leonardi ancestors
were from Italy. The sisters of Vincent and Bartholomew, who!
came with them to this city were Mrs. Theodosia (John P.) Andreu;
Mrs. Jane Canning, and Mrs. Florencia (Tom E.) Hagar. Captain
J. P. Andreu carried the mail from Tampa to Point Pinellas, now
St. Petersburg, and was proprietor of an oyster house, supplying the
village and Garrison with this product of Tampa Bay. The children
of Mr. and Mrs. Andreu are Mrs. W. J. Holden, Mrs. Nora Jeter,
Mrs. C. C. Lebey, Mrs. J. S. Smith, and Katie, the latter being un-

McCARTY — Mitchell McCarty, one of Tampa's early settlers,
was born in Rochester, N. Y., in September, 1818. Leaving home in
early youth because of trouble with his father over property rights,
he wandered south and arrived at Mobile, Ala. There he met
Elizabeth Aylisse Simmons, who, on April 21, 1844, became his wife.

TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914 19

She was born in Savannah, Ga., January 10, 1819, and passed much
of her girlhood in this section of Florida. Her father, Rev. Daniel
Simmons, a Baptist minister, purchased 640 acres of land from the
Spanish Government, upon which he located with his family. He was
a man of means and improved his property, but during one of the
Indian insurrections the family fled for their lives to Alabama. Rev.
Simmons never attempted to regain possession of his property
around "Simmons' Hammock," near Seffner, Fla., where some valuable
orange groves are now located. About 1846 the families of Simmons,
McKay and McCarty left Mobile by the same boat, landing at
Chasehowiska, Fla. The McKays soon afterward came to Tampa,
but the other two families remained in Hernando County until 1849,
when Mr. McCarty moved to Tampa. He purchased from Captain
Lesley, property on Washington street, between Morgan and Marion,
and engaged in a general merchandise business. He was a charter
member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He died Novem-
ber, 1858, being survived by his wife and three daughters. The
widow of Mitchell McCarty was an influential member of the First
Baptist church and did much for its upkeep until her death on
February 21, 1859. The McCarty offspring were Mrs. Mary Jane
(John A.) McKay, who died in 1911, and whose children are here
recorded with the McKay family; Mrs. Margaret (H. W.) Sherritt,
whose two children are Mrs. Mollie (J. I.) Carruthers and Mack
unmarried; and Ada McCarty, unmarried.

McKAY — Captain James McKay, The First, formerly of Scot-
land, founder of this prominent family in Tampa, came here October
13, 1846 from Mobile, Ala. He was accompanied by his wife,
formerly Matilda Kail, and her mother, Mrs. Sarah Kail. Captain
McKay was a man of considerable means, and had various interests in
Tampa. He owned a number of sailing and steam vessels. He
originated the cattle trade between Tampa and Cuba, and also the
mail route between Tampa and Cedar Keys, and his own steamers
carried the mail to and from these points; also freight and passengers.
He also ran a fonr-horse coach from Tampa to Gainesville, Fla.,
before the Civil War. The cattle business in that period was as
important as the fruit business is now in this section. Captain

20 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

McKay dealt in cattle to the extent of about $60,000 per month.
He also owned a saw mill and one of the few stores of pioneer days.
The site of his store was corner of Franklin and Washington streets,
where his grandson, Mayor Donald Brenham McKay now has his
office. It was a small wooden building, which was years afterward
replaced by the present brick structure, this being the first brick
edifice ever erected in Tampa. The first home of the McKay's was
the entire square where the Almeria Hotel was afterward located.
When the Civil War broke out, Captain McKay and his son, Donald
S., had just reached Cuba with a ship load of cattle. In running a
blockade from that island to Tampa, they were captured. The
father was kept a prisoner in Key West for several months, and the
son was transported to Fort LaFayette, New York harbor. After
thirteen months in prison there, Donald S. was released on parole
and returned by transport to Key West. On his way down he wit-
nessed the sinking of the Cumberland and Congress by the Merrimac.
Donald S. came home and joined a battalion and remained in the
Confederate service until the end of the war. His father was ap-
pointed Commissary General to furnish cattle for the Tennessee
army. Captain McKay sold some of his steamers to Miller and
Henderson, who became associated with him in carrying on the
cattle trade and mail route. Captain McKay built the first jail and
court house of Tampa, and furnished all the nails and lumber for
the First Baptist church. Mrs. Sarah Kail paid for the labor of its
erection. This church is today one of the few old landmarks of the
early life of Tampa. This building stands opposite the Tribune
building, on Tampa street, and is now Bomford's Plumbing Shop.
It stood in a grove of oak trees in pioneer days. Captain McKay
was the first mayor of Tampa. He was a member of the first lodge
established here (Masonic), in which he owned fifty-six shares.
James McKay, The First, and Matilda, his wife, were blessed with a
large family. George, who died in youth; Sarah A.; James, Second;
Marian, Tillie, Allie, Donald S., John Angus, and Charles, who died
in early manhood. Sarah A. married R. B. Thomas. She died
several years ago leaving no children. James, Second followed his
father's footsteps, being also a sea captain and cattle dealer. He

TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914 21

married Mary Crichton, daughter of Dr. John T. Crichton, one of
Tampa's first and most prominent physicians. Dr. Chrichton lived
here many years and moved to Atlanta, Ga., where he died, leaving
several children. James, Second, lived here until a few years ago,
and was prominent in public affairs. He was once mayor of the
city, and state senator from his district. He is now Marine Superin-
tendent of United States Transports, and in this capacity inspects
all transports that are chartered by the U. S. Government along the
Atlantic and Gulf coasts. He also has supervision over quarter-
masters' boats stationed along the Atlantic coast. His headquarters
are in New York City, but he has been stationed at Galveston,
Tex. during Mexican disturbances. The offspring of this branch of
the McKay family are: Tillie, of this city, widow of J. D. Clarke,
of Cornwall-on-the-Hudson, N. Y.; Mrs. Blanche (T. L.) Morton,
of Virginia; James C, who married Lillian MacDonald, of Fernan-
dina; Julia, who died several years ago; Mrs. Madge (C.) Lastra;
Mrs. Mary (John O.) Kirkpatrick, of Nashville; Harold, who mar-
ried Bess Fisher, of Lima, O. ; Fred, unmarried. Marian, daughter
of James, First, married William Randolph and their only offspring
is Sarah, wife of Judge W. A. Carter. Tillie, also of the first
family, married Dr. John Wall, and there was born to them a son,
Charles, who now lives in Tampa. Allie married Howell T. Lykes,
Sr., and there were born to them the following sons and our daughter;
Mrs. Tillie (S. B.) Turman; Fred, unmarried, a cattle dealer in
Cuba; Howell T., Jr., married Stella Long; Thomas, unmarried, who

MITCHELL— The name Mitchell is one of the most prominent
in the history of Tampa, and the entire State. The Mitchell family I
came from Alabama in 1846 and first settled at Simmons' Ham- j
mock, coming to Tampa in 1854. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mitchell]
were parents of seven distinguished sons, Henry Laurens, Samuel,
Robert, George, Charles Lucian, Frank and Thomas. The two last^
named boys were both officers in the Civil War service, and both;
were killed therein. Henry Laurens was among the most prominent!
citizens in the entire history of Tampa. He was born September 3,{J
1831. He studied law in the office of Judge James Gettis, a beloved!
pioneer, who died a bachelor, and his name therefore is known
among only the oldest citizens today. Judge Gettis aided many
young men of those days. The late W. B. Henderson named his
eldest son in honor of this man. When he was admitted to the bar,,
Henry L. Mitchell was elected State Attorney for the Sixth Judiciani
Circuit, holding this office until 1861, when he entered the Con-
federate service, attaining the rank of Captain in the Fourth Florida
Infantry. After the Vicksburg campaign he resigned to peform his
duties as a member of the State Legislature from Hillsborough
County. He was twice reelected. He was Judge of the Circuitti
Court from 1877 to 1888. After this he was one of the Justices of
the Supreme Court for two and a half years. In 1892 he was
elected to the highest office of the State, that of Governor. After
his term as Governor closed he returned to Tampa and was chosen |
as Clerk of the Circuit Court and County Treasurer, holding these
offices until his death, October 14, 1903. His widow, formerly Mary
E. Spencer, whom he married in 1866, survives him. Although having
no children Governor Mitchell has many namesakes, one being a

be complete without the statement that they are direct descendani
of Lord Samuel Stanford, who was born in Staffordshire, Englam
He was the second son and only heir to the title, but preferring 1 1
freedom and liberty of America, he came to the United States air
became a citizen of Dauphin County, N. C, sometime before ttl
American Revolution. He was educated in theology for the Pre;
byterian ministry and when war was declared enlisted as a chaplat
and soldier, fighting for Christ and liberty and carrying both swoi
and Bible. His daughter, Euphemia Stanford, married Jose]\
Moore, who was of Scotch-Irish descent and second cousin to £^
Thomas Moore, the poet. Joseph and Euphemia Moore, with thr
children, came to Tampa in 1842 and located, with other settlers,
what is now known as Hyde Park, which was named after the Hy fl
Park in London, England. This name was given by Dr. Griffith,
Presbyterian minister and pioneer, who came here from Englam
Prior to the naming of this district Hyde Park was known as Spanii
Town. Beneath the ground near Spanish Town Creek some of tt
earlier pioneers of Tampa were placed at rest, it being used as
burial ground. Mrs. Maria Moore (Madison) Post, who is the onn!
surviving member of the Joseph Moore family, and who still residdj
in this city, attended the first election in this county, and which hli
mother, Euphemia Moore, had the honor to name as Hillsboroui
County. There is an interesting story in connection with the namii
of this county as told by Mrs. Post, who says that it was named for:
Mr. Hills, a hunter and trapper, because he killed the largest all
gator, these pests being numerous at that time. It was Joseph Moo
who installed the Masonic order in Tampa on January 16, 1850, tt
charter for the local lodge being obtained on January 20, 1851. E
portrait adorns the walls of the Masonic Hall of Tampa today. T!

Ann, Margaret, Jackson, who died unmarried; Emily, who died
youth; Walter Raleigh, who died unmarried; William J., Maria Jai!
Joseph, Jr., Henrietta and Martha Washington. Walter Raleii
Moore, according to the "Soldier Book of the South," held a d:
tinguished record. He entered the great struggle between the Stai
as Captain of the Twentieth Florida Regiment, and during the fo>

of Samuel Louis Moore and his wife, Charlotte, was that every

acted as interpreter for the Government. He was beloved alike by I
the Americans and the Indians. He wooed and wed a beautiful Indian l[l
maiden, lovely of soul as in person. This girl wife died early in
life, leaving a little daughter, Victoria. Victoria was reared by |
Robert and Nancy (Coller) Jackson. She grew to womanhood
and married Alfonzo Dalauney, of French birth, a lawyer by pro-
fession, who came here to be restored to health. Mr. Dalauney was,
from 1861 to '65, postmaster of Tampa and custom's house officer. His
wife, Victoria, was a woman of noble character and lofty mind, and
their children were very intelligent. Two of them, Pauline and Emma,
were among the most prominent teachers in the public schools of the
early days. The offspring of Alphonso and Victoria were: Pauline,
who married Captain John B. Walton whose only child, Marie, sur-
vives them both; Emma, who died unmarried in February, 1913;

surveyed and laid out the town of Tarpon Springs, Fla. Marie
Walton is now in Asheville, N. C, and is the only surviving
descendant of Victoria. Previous to his marriage with Victoria
Alfonso Dalauney had married a Miss St. John, of Georgia, who
died after giving birth to one son, St. John. The boy was brought
up by his uncle, James Dalauney, in Columbus, Ga., coming to his
father and step-mother, Victoria, some years later. The father died
at the close of the war, in 1865, and the boy went to Lake Providence,
R. I., where he continued the newspaper trade begun in Tampa, and
became editor and publisher of the East Carroll Democrat of that
city. He married Mrs. Barbara Streffner, of that place, returning

YE MYSTIC KREWE OF GASPARILLA

Origin of the society: The Gasparilla idea originated in \\v
ipr of [904, i?i connection with the second May Music Festival
here. This festival was the forerunner of a number of inv
ant celebrations, among them being the South Florida and State

s.

60 TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914

The May Festival itself was the idea of Miss Louise Frr
Dodge, a resourceful newspaper woman, then the society editor o
Tampa Morning Tribune. Mr. George Hardee, at the reque*
Miss Dodge, planned the Gasparilla fete as a pageant feature o
festival. The idea was novel and met with the cooperation of se
prominent men from the time of its first announcement which
published in the Tampa Morning Tribune, in the form of a 1
written by Mr. Hardee to Mr. Edwin D. Lambright, associate ei
of the Tribune, and was supposed to come from the pirate Gasp*
himself. It proclaimed that Gasparilla and his Mystic Krewe
about to invade the city. Mr. Lambright answered this and !
ceeding letters in like vein.

The first Gasparilla celebration was held on May 4, 1904, yi
fifty prominent Tampa men, wearing gay costumes of pirates, par;}
the streets on horseback. In the parade there were also many ai
mobiles and other vehicles, decorated with flowers. On the eve
of May 6 a brilliant coronation ball was given at the Tampa
Hotel. Hon. E. R. Gunby was chosen king with much pomp,
Miss Mary Lee Douglas was crowned Queen. Four other pop;/
society girls were chosen Maids of Honor to Her Majesty. The
ond Gasparilla celebration was held during the South Florida
in November, 1906, the fair having by that time supplied the pi)
of the May Festival. A tournament was held previous to the c
nation ball that year.

The celebration is now held annually in February, and the
onation ball is the most brilliant and magnificent of the season's sod
functions, and costs thousands of dollars.

HISTORICAL SKETCH OF PIRATE GASPARILLA

In the romantic days of the Gulf of Mexico, from 1800 to l!l
when pirate fleets roved up and down, and Jean and Pierre La Fi
Dominique, Yon and others of their like, held high revels at tl
rendezvous at Barataria Island, near the passes of the Mississi]!
a famous pirate named Jose Gasparilla had a beautiful house ffl
extensive grounds, rose and palm gardens on the island which r
bears his name. This cruel and bloodthirsty pirate had an eye
female beauty, however, and when he captured a ship he would s

TAMPA BLUE BOOK AND PIONEERS, 1914 61

vomen alive and send them ashore to his island prison-house,
epredations of the Gulf pirates became unbearable, and a United
s fleet, sent down to punish them, swept them from the sea.
arilla was captured in Lemon Bay, a branch of Charlotte Har-
nd hanged from his own yardarm. His beautiful captives were
red to liberty and after some years his house, a place of such
men with sailors and fishermen that they never visited it, burst
flames during a violent thunderstorm and disappeared forever.

GROWTH OF THE SOCIETY

"he members of Ye Mystic Krewe of Gasparilla, seeing in their
*ation immense possibilities for an annual event which would in
rival the Mardi Gras Carnivals of the Southern cities, set to work

J :orporate the Krewe. Year by year and step by step, Ye Mystic
e has developed from a small society to one famed throughout
itire South.

'he general myth of Gasparilla and his band has of late years
followed; the Pirate Krewe arriving in a rakish schooner, with

liiing guns and with cutlass and pistol, demanded the city keys
its Chief Executive.

iter a carnival on the streets and a banquet the Krewe retire
e Tampa Bay Casino, there to hold the Coronation Ball, at
, with much splendor and ceremonj^, a young woman is crowned
1 of the Krewe by the Pirate King already chosen and on his
e.

he King, Queen, Maids of Honor and Courtiers are all selected
aled ballot, which ballot is not even opened until the Coronation
lonies are begun.

"he first captain of the Krewe was E. R. Gunby ; the second, G.
lardee; third, C. M. Davis, and fourth, J. T. Mahoney, who is
in at the present time.
